Maybe some of these were creditors who didn't get paid in full after administration. Can't blame them for not wanting to get left holding the bag again after what went on just recently

"The two guys up front ran themselves into the ground". Counter to what some are posting about Saga being lazy and not trying because he wants to leave. If we can cut out some of the lump and chase, these guys will be a lot more effective and last longer.

Spot on. They had better ball support in the midfield and were able to pressure saints players when we had the ball. Lallana really needs to get himself into the game more. Nobody is going to hand it to him and if more midfielders are brought in, he will find himself without a place. I would rather have a good 45 minutes (sheiderlin today) than an invisible 90 minutes (lallana today).

Saints have gone mental, and this ref is doing no favors for either team

He is under contract. He has to report. End of story. You can't pick and choose which players to keep without paying off the rest of the contract, so unless he agrees to walk away for free or renegotiates for less to leave sooner, he has to get paid in full.

Doesn't matter who we play as the complaints will still be there. If it was all prem opposition then people will complain that we'll get stuffed so why bother watching. I don't care who they play so long as they use the time to get on the same page and erase that 10 point deficit as soon as possible.

Great to see him making preparations for next season. 35 days is not a long time, and June 15 will be here before you blink. I would rather have him do the work and have any new owner replace him, rather than sit around waiting until he hears what the plans are then rush around trying to catch up. Proactive beats reactive in my book. I also like the fact that he has laid down the law to these guys and stayed that if they can't find a club who pays the requisite fee, they have to report bright and early with the rest. The time for coddling is over!

Then we can wait while that manager brings in "his" players and adds to the 100+ players that have passed through the team in the past 5 years. The craziness has to end now. It doesn't matter who gets brought in, as the fans will never be happy and will shout for someone else new after a few bad results because we have a forum full of like minded people who will join in with us out of frustration and anger whenever we feel the need to come on and vent about how "we wanted the other guy" or "we never rated this guy anyway". If more teams tried to play the game instead of resorting to crap thug ball, the games would be a lot more interesting. 4-4-2 isn't going to automatically make players produce the goods, and neither is employing the umpteenth manager.

11 managers in 5 years according to media reports shows that it doesn't work.
